Pain—has an Element of Blank—
It cannot recollect
When it began—or if there were
A time when it was not—

Emily Dickinson
Grief is a tidal wave that over
takes you,
smashes down upon you with
unimaginable force,
sweeps you up into its darkness,
where you tumble and crash
against unidentifiable surfaces,
only to be thrown out on an
unknown beach, bruised,
reshaped...
Grief will make a new person
out of you,
if it doesn't kill you in the
making.
Everyone Needs Someone

People need people and friends need
friends
And we all need love for a full life
depends

Not on vast riches or great acclaim,
Not on success or on worldly fame,

But just in knowing that someone
cares
And holds us close in their thoughts
and prayers-

For only the knowledge that we're
understood
Makes everyday living feel
wonderfully good,

And we rob ourselves of life's
greatest need
When we "lock up our hearts" and
fail to heed

The outstretched hand reaching to
find
A kindred spirit whose heart and
mind

Are lonely and longing to somehow
share
Our joys and sorrows and to make us
aware

That life's completeness and richness
depends
On the things we share with our
loved ones
and friends.
